Soldiers club to preserve and promote ethnic groups’ cultural identities

PANO – Regiment 174 of Military Region 2’s Division 316 is stationed in Northwest region of Vietnam, which is home to 34 out of the 54 ethnic groups in Vietnam. As a result, most of its troops are mountainous ethnic minority youths.

To help servicemen preserve and promote their groups’ beautiful cultural identities, the unit formed a cultural club to provide opportunity for troops to meet and introduce customs and cultural identities of their groups.

Over the past time, the club has run effectively contributing to popularizing cultural values of ethnic minority groups in the region.
